biopsy

When I got home tonight, there was a message from my doctor saying the biopsy is scheduled for Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving, at the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus. We won't necessarily know the results that day, though. I'm glad we're getting it done so soon.

Update: OK, I had misheard the message. Wednesday is my consultation with the surgeon (and possibly the oncologist as well). He won't necessarily want a biopsy that day; he'll look at it and decide if he wants to biopsy first or take it out, or do some chemotherapy to shrink it down before taking it out... it all depends on what kind of tumor it is, which he/we won't know until then.
